Creative, public relations and advertising agencies are often GREAT clients for freelance writers—especially if they are small and medium-sized firms. Some employ an on-staff editor and all the writing assignments get farmed out to freelancers. You will work on different types of projects and be able to add a variety of client company names to your resume.

Start on a local basis so you can offer to meet face-to-face with agency personnel as well as clients. If you like this kind of freelancing, cast your net wider to catch a national account and use free services like Skype to conduct your face-to-face communications. You may just find that being a “creative resource’s resource” is the ideal freelance writing career.
